The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the longest and most intractable conflicts in the world. It has also been one of the deadliest, with thousands of people killed and injured on both sides.
According to data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), between 2008 and 2020, over 100,000 Palestinians and over 5,000 Israelis were killed in the conflict. The vast majority of casualties were civilians.
The deadliest year of the conflict was 2014 when over 22,000 Palestinians and over 70 Israelis were killed. This was the year of Operation Protective Edge, a seven-week Israeli military operation in Gaza.
The conflict has also had a devastating impact on the lives of millions of people. Many Palestinians have been displaced from their homes, and the economy of the Gaza Strip has been crippled.
The human cost of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a stark reminder of the need for a peaceful resolution to this decades-long conflict.
